Russian missiles target Ukraine's infrastructure leaving cities, including Kyiv, without water or electricity
KYIV, UKRAINE: After Russia launched another missile attack on key cities, the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv was left with a severe water shortage and was also without power. The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, claimed that 80% of his city is now without water and that 350,000 houses are without electricity as a result of Russian cruise missiles striking important infrastructure locations. Eyewitnesses have also reported five explosions.
The northern city of Kharkiv, the central cities of Dnipro and Cherkasy, as well as the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, were all affected, resulting in power outages, according to the Daily Mail. Klitschko further explained how one of the strikes damaged a power plant that supplied 350,000 residences in the capital with electricity. He said that emergency personnel were working to restore power and "stabilise the situation as quickly as possible."
